I am awaiting confirmation as to whether or not my application was successful for an AC.May I ask what stage of the application you are waiting to hear from? I am STILL under review for my initial online application to the A&O winter vac..
Hey I remember you did a VS with Sidley last year? Their website seems to suggest the VS is only for students so I wonder if you had any graduate/career changer in your cohort - basically trying to gauge if I stand a chance at all…Happy friday everyone. Remember to take a day off and not think about applications (if you can)!
Always here to help
I applied to HFW in January and just never got a reply!
None in my cohort but I spoke to trainees/associates/partners in the firm who were career changers. I would 10/10 recommend emailing the GR team as they will be able to advise you if there is a different process!
I have my application ready but wondering if I want to deal with them. I am really prioritising my mental health and cannot be bothered with BS!
Ah, I am in a very similar position. If nothing comes up by end of monday I think i may email grad rec to follow up 😪
Yeah that’s very true. It’s just so annoying spending ages on an application for the firm to just not even reply. I can take a rejection email, but to just not ever hear back is so frustrating. I suppose it depends if there’s something about the firm that really appeals to you, and maybe try to submit it and then forget about it until (if) they email back?
To be honest, I am using shipping as a safety net but there are other more interesting sectors.
Hi Seb really sorry to hear about that. Do u mind me asking whether you got the PFO sent today or was it earlier this week? thanksPFO from A&O - submitted the app in late August, and got the SJT results at the end of September. Good luck to everyone else!
Yeah I read that a few years ago some of their trainees and grad rec were laughing at job applicants on a train too.
